BES Learning Garden

Friday, December 2, 2016

Kaysin Turner, 7, a 2nd grader at BES, stands with a cartful of groceries as heparticipates in the Seed to Table project.

Thanks to our many supporters over the past year, our learning garden has grown and grown.

Recently, BES was featured in Foster's Daily Democrat for the kid's amazing efforts with the garden as well as their focus on giving back to the community.

BES and the garden stewards wish to thank the following people and organizations for their continued support and donations. Without their help, our amazing learning garden would not be possible.

It was a short growing season this year due to it being the first time for the garden. However, we were able to harvest radishes in time for the kids to enjoy a colorful addition to their lunchtime salad.

Learning how to clean and prepare our veggies for delivery to the kitchen!
